According to Spencer Ackerman at Wired, the FBI has taught counterterrorism agents that mainstream Muslims are "likely to be terrorist sympathizers," that devout Muslims are likely to be violent, and that their tradition of giving to charity has been turned into a "funding mechanism for combat." In response, the FBI said the leaked materials Ackerman cites in his report were part of a "one time only" training seminar that was "quickly discontinued" six months ago. Is this evidence of anti-Muslim bias inside the FBI?

Yes. The FBI is obviously biased: The lesson in this training session was "clearly Islamophobic," says Eli Clifton at ThinkProgress. Of course, it's not true that devout U.S. Muslims are more likely to support terrorism — "in fact, mosques have been found to be a deterrent to the spread of terrorism." And don't believe that this was a one-time deal. The FBI has exposed agents to lectures by several Muslim-demonizing "pseudo-experts.""New documents reveal FBI's Islamophobic counterterrorism training"
